Wow! Great food, excellent tasting water, a very relaxing space. Wonderful night sky--the first time I have ever seen the milky way on the East Coast! Thank you!

I have been doing retreats & weekend workshops for 30 years and this is the best place I have ever been to. The small incidentals (tea, fruit, natural soap, towels, dried fruit & nuts) enhance the experience. The food--by providing separate items: meat, sauce, dairy, etc. made it so easy for me to follow my particular diet and all of those around me. Thank you!

Sevenoaks is a lovely retreat center. The land is beautiful. The energy is loving & serene, fully supporting me during my stay. The lodging was comfy & clean. Meals were PHENOMINAL! I could tell there was much care & consciousness that was given to the menu planning and preparation. Items for sale in the bookstore are wonderfully appropriate. I look forward to returning for another retreat here!
